Cieplý

Cieplý is a surname of Czech origin. It corresponds to the Czech Teplý, derived from the adjective teplý meaning warm.

Etymology and form: The root tepl- is connected to warmth and heat; the suffix -ý is a Czech masculine adjective ending, which commonly appears in surnames.

Usage and distribution: The surname is found among Czech and Slovak populations and in diaspora communities outside Central Europe. In Polish, the standard word for warm is ciepły; the form cieplý is not a standard Polish spelling but may appear in historical documents or as a transliteration of Czech names in non-Czech contexts.
